Small independent motel in a beautiful setting that is at the entrance to Point Reyes. This is a simple motel but it is clean with nice rooms at a reasonable price. WiFi available in the rooms (a surprising gem). Great staff and they provide a key to the common area at night if you need ice or want to play pool.

We were looking for a place to stay in Point Reyes..very last minute and we stumbled upon this awesome place! Very comfortable and clean, and the rooms smelled like cedar. I felt so relaxed here, even though the room we stayed in was a little small, but we didn't really need much space. Plus, there is a little lodge to sit and relax in with a pool table, computer, comfortable sofas and chairs, and a fireplace. As for the room we stayed in, I cannot emphasize CLEAN enough. Everything felt new, from the hardwood flooring to the bed to the pillows. I highly recommend it, if I were going back to Point Reyes, I'd definitely stay there again!! LOVED IT!!

Ok I really didn't want to write a review about this Motel because then I will not be able to check back in. ~ I loved it! It is called a motel but says it is more like a lodge, my one and only complaint is that the walls are tooo thin or the neighbors were tooo amorous!!!
Note to travelers, the bed in #2 squeaks and the neighbors in Room #3 can be woken up at 1am by it!!
This place is set up for bird watching, it has a walkway to the marsh and huge windows and a great patio with comfy chairs for birdwatching. They even have their own binoculars to borrow! A wonderful fireplace and everything set up for a cozy evening in the lodgeroom, (the internet pictures are true), except you cannot smell the wonderful pine/wood of the lodgeroom from the internet. I didn't visit particularly for birdwatching but I did get some in while at the motel. The manager was sooo sweet and informative and set us up for whatever we needed. The garden areas are wonderful for relaxing. The rooms are not huge but are sparkling clean and comfortable and environmently friendly!! This is the best value for the dollar and I hope it is not overbooked the next time I want to enjoy the Point Reyes area. I never did get around to asking about the bells on the patio but I hope to get the story the next time I visit. I loved it!!

The Motel Inverness, despite its ordinary name, is not your typical motel. My son and I stayed in the Heart's Desire suite, which has two good sized bedrooms, each of which has a real door, so we had complete privacy. The rooms were pleasant and immaculately clean. My room looked out upon theTomales Bay bird sanctuary, where I saw an egret, a great blue heron, and many other birds. We had our own private deck.

The lodge has a fireplace, pool table, hot drinks, and free computer with Internet access. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. There is also a pretty little garden with a couple of fountains.

Our suite had a kitchenette, but it was too tiny to do any real cooking other than breakfast, or heating up pre-prepared food in the microwave.
